Analysis of Mn-rich basalt from Leg 51

The successful drilling on Legs 51, 52, and 53 created a rare opportunity to investigate the long-term effects of seawater-rock interactions on the mineralogy and chemistry of basalts erupted on the sea floor. The purpose of this paper is to describe the weathering of the basalts in terms of the cha...

Description
Summary:The successful drilling on Legs 51, 52, and 53 created a rare opportunity to investigate the long-term effects of seawater-rock interactions on the mineralogy and chemistry of basalts erupted on the sea floor. The purpose of this paper is to describe the weathering of the basalts in terms of the changes in their mineralogy and chemistry, and to compare the weathering observed in Hole 418A with that in the upper parts of Hole 417A.
